QT plugin for Mozilla: Not working

While making my website, I realised that I didn't have any audio/video plugin. So I reinstalled Quick Time (6) and gave it some MIME extensions, restarted Mozilla and hoped for the best. Except it did something different... It was obvious that the plugin had kicked in, but because that area of the window just wouldn't update. If I flicked to it from another tab, it just showed what was there on the other tab. Why isn't this working? (It works for IE.)

 

wiffles,

How about giving us the link for the website so we can test the audio. Your explanation isn't very clear.

Thanks,

Ramona

 

The page was offline, but I've ripped the HTML to http://www.wiffles.net/qtproblem.html. I'm getting the same effect - in Mozilla the embed causes an area that won't redraw, and in IE everthing works fine. The MP3's nothing special, just a little tune I made, about 300Kb.

 

wiffles,

The only thing on the page is your MP3 file. In order to embed an MP3 that will work in IE and Netscape/Mozilla, this is the tag I use:

Code:

<EMBED SRC= "http://www.wiffles.net/qtproblem/welback.mp3 "
AUTOSTART= "False" HIDDEN= "False" LOOP= "False" height= "75" width= "550 ">
<BGSOUND SRC= "http:///www.wiffles.net/qtproblem/welback.mp3 "
AUTOSTART= "False" HIDDEN= "False" LOOP= "False" height= "75" width= "550 ">

This tag works in Netscape 7.1, Mozilla 1.7 RC 3, and IE 5.5 SP2.

The BGSOUND is not recognized by Netscape or Mozilla, but is necessary for IE.

Hi Ramona,
That page was a bit confusing. There is an EMBED tag on the page, I just ripped it from the rest of my page which is offline at the minute. I would have said it was because of the tags, but the same page works without a problem in IE. I'm sure it has to be something to do with the plugin, not the page.
